Round 2 - AFL - live scores and discussion..

[NO-MERCY]

Went to bed half time & thought it could be a close game Carlton by 18-24 then woke up thismorning and
what the .... where did that side go that played the 1st half?

[RustyCage]

WTF was Brett Kirk on about then? Sounded like a knob.

[Jim05]

Once again we lose a player early on and have to bring on the sub.
Hille gone with a calf injury.
1/4 Time
Ess 5.2.32
Port 5.2.32
Essendon more than double the Inside 50's but Port have scored on nearly every forward entry

[Jim05]

1/2 Time
Ess 10.6.66
Port 7.3.45
Ryder rucking on his own and destroying the Port ruckmen

[Jim05]

Wingard subbed off at halftime with an eye injury, O'Shea on

[Jim05]

Bombers kicking themselves out of the game, miss 4 easy shots and Port go forward twice and kick 2 goals.

[woodublieve12]

swans up by 6 goals just before half time...

[Jim05]

3/4 Time
Ess 11.13.79
Port 12.5.77
Sounds like a very scrappy game between two ordinary sides

[GWW]

Port down by only 2 points. Bombers have dominated, especially second quarter, they should be up by about 7 goals.

Will be an interesting 4th quarter, I would expect Essendon to win it given the way they played in 2nd quarter (the direction they will kick to in last).

Port not without a chance though. Fought back well in 3rd quarter, in past years would have folded. They need to show something special in 4th to be any chance though however.

[Jim05]

Cant take a trick at the moment, Myers and Lovett-Murray with hammy injuries

[GWW]

Very poor last quarter from Port, Essendon now up by 19 points. Bombers taking advantage of forward entries, Port very wasteful.

Only 2 minutes remaining now.

[Jim05]

Final Score
Ess 16.15.111
Port 13.8.86
Great to get the win but I think both sides are well off the mark of the top few

Anyone know the Sydney v Freo result?

[Jim05]

Anyone know the Sydney v Freo result?

Swans won by 13 points, Freo had a big 3rd quarter and peppered the goals in the last.
Freo won the last half by about 5 goals but the damage was done early

[carey]

Cheers Jimbo.

In my tips this week i was concerned with 3 games- Ess over port, Sydney over Freo and Hawks over the cats
